the citizens of the week states will never be equal to the citizens of the strong states. this is happening now throughout the west. second, the federal system is based on a concept called dual sovereignty. the federal government up top. duality in the system. what is that all about? that is all about protecting the citizens of the states from tyranny and protecting their individual liberty. it comes down to people. here is how the roberts court put it in the first obama case. ante sovereignty is not just end of itself, rather federalism secures the citizens the liberties that derived from the diffusion of sovereign power. because the police power is controlled by 50 different states instead of one national sovereign, the facets of governing that touch on citizens daily lives are normally administered by smaller governments closer to the governed. the framers thus insured that powers which in the ordinary course of affairs concern the lives, liberties and properties of the people were held by government or local and more accountable than a distant federal bureaucracy. the i

and the state attorney general has the constitutional authority to state the legal position of the state government in court. and the attorney general takes an oath. my perspective always as a state attorney general was, i had an obligation to take the constitution seriously and to state the correct legal position. and if that meant that i had to confess that a state law was unconstitutional, i did so. if -- you know, i didn't think that it was productive to have debates about doing my job. see, we've seen in the context of the marriage litigation -- a year ago i gave a lecture at case western and i criticized the conservatives who say that the answer to the marriage litigation was to say, well, i'm doing my job, i'm defending state law, without regard to what the merits of the argument might be. from my perspective, you ought to be talking about the merits. what does the constitution actually require? what is the correct legal position? i don't think it's productive to just have a debate about process. and we have a long history in our country of executive review. each branch has -- we

i am the senate historian. state of the union message is mandated by the constitution, in the words that from time to time, the president of the united states should give a message to congress on the state of the union and recommendations of programs that should be followed. george washington began that practice of giving a state of the union message to congress when the first congress met. but washington went in person to the congress, went to the senate chamber, and delivered the speech that has a serious of recommendations, relatively -- series of recommendations, relatively short speech. in those days they actually used to cut the state of the union message up into paragraphs and create ad hoc committees to address each one of the issues the president suggested. washington and adams followed that practice. they created this idea that from time to time was an annual message. in fact the years it was known , as the annual message. it didn't become known as the state of the union message until the 1940's. in 1948, t

"i mean, i appreciate the tone of her state of the state." "everything that she brought up was very emotional, not just for her as you could tell, but also for everybody else in the body, because we were all touched by it." with the late senator clementa pinckney's family in the gallery, haley remembered the tragic shooting that took his life. she recognized the survivors too. "these two women and the precious little one who was with them that night are proof that we have angels living on earth." her state of the state, which hit on themes of unity and healing, also reflected on the police shooting of walter scott and the deadly october flood. "this year, was something neither we nor the weathermen could have ever imagined. rain at unbelievable levels pouring from the sky for hours." but haley's speech included some policy too. she called for more prosecutors to protect domestic violence survivors; legislation to dedicate up to one-percent of the state's bond capacity to help impoverished, struggling school districts; and ethics reform.

it didn't become known as the state of the union message until the 1940's. in 1948 there was a hollywood movie called state of the union. that cemented the idea that it was the state of the union message. washington and adams went in person to congress. ,'s jefferson didn't enjoy public speaking. he gave to public speeches while presidents. his first and his second inaugural address. jefferson like to be known as a writer, not a speaker. he got the idea of the president going to congress personally to deliver a list of things he wanted to see done was too much like the british king, the monarch going to parliament. he thought this was not appropriate for a republic. jefferson sent his message to congress. each year after that they would send their messages which would be read by the clerks of the senate. rather than by the president. they would read in the congressional record or the newspapers. they didn't have to listen to a clerk or read the message. that became the tradition. the constitution is not that specific about what it is. time to time, this needs

one is the state statute requires agency fees. the employer couldn't have done anything with respect to agency fees. that's all decided by statute. justice sotomayor: i'm not assuming the state of the law as it exists now. i'm assuming that we were to undo and say they can't charge an agency fee. mr. carvin: right. justice sotomayor: all right? california's going to have to respond somehow. it's now breaching the agreement it had with the union. they're going to have to come to some sort of accommodation. mr. carvin: right. and they would excise the agency fees part of the contract. justice sotomayor: even if they did, could they then decide to fund the union? mr. carvin: oh. but that's a separate question. if they wanted to go ahead and fund the union, as i said, they've got some discretion to do it. i think the one area the government doesn't have the power to subsidize speech is when it's engaged subsidizing political speech in a viewpointdiscriminatory way. justice sotomayor: let's take that aside. i'm talking about the collect
